I’ve heard explanations for women’s clothing lacking pockets that sort of make sense, but I’ve never met a real person that agrees with them. Most women I know opt to just wear men’s jeans (might be a regional thing) and it looks fine, which further reinforces that it’s all pointless.
@brennyn ridiculous. Women’s pants lacking pockets is something I deal with like every other day. It’s not just jeans, it’s mostly slacks. It’s so annoying to put your hand in your “pocket” and barely have your first knuckle covered. Men’s jeans and slacks don’t fit women’s hips. Ridiculous.
@brennyn@Snivles Flip side, I hated jeans until I burned my bridges, swapped sides, and found the inexpensive Gloria Vanderbilt jeans at Costco, which were the first ones I’d ever had that fit me the way I wanted them to. The pockets are not huge, but they’re good enough. Two small flashlights and a folding utility knife in the left front, keys for three vehicles and the front door in the right, everything else in the belt pack.
@brennyn@Snivles@werehatrack They fit me well too (well except their sizing between styles is completely inconsistent) and I hate how they seem to have some of them so stretchy it is crazy. I hate stretchy jeans. And then you will eventually discover they are cheap because they don’t last very long - I get 2 years tops out of them. I have a handful of old Lee jeans from 10+ years ago that still don’t have holes in the knees, etc. I miss the old Lee jeans that were bomb proof.
@brennyn@Snivles The female students of my high school class regularly wore men’s Levi’s jeans and corduroys; it was the style. There was extra room in the waist, but we just wore a belt. The social order won’t fall apart if women wear men’s jeans, especially women who are built more like men.
@blaineg@heartny Seems like I could ~ 2 or 4 * 10^1.2 years ago. Haven’t practiced much lately.
When I was still teaching, I had a dept head who could write upside down when tutoring her math students across the desk from her, but I never achieved that. (I just worked on having my regular right-side-up writing legible. The older I got, the worse it got. Now my PCP/GP complains about MY handwriting!)
I have a hunch pockets are pretty important in today’s young women. All my granddaughters bought prom dresses with pockets. Can’t be without their phones.
Given all the neglected places where pockets would be useful in women’s clothes, it is just fecking typical that the manufacturers decided to put actual back pockets on jeggings.
Women.
Names for shades of colors.
@hchavers the fact that there ARE colors other than black, blue, and tan.
@hchavers @katbyter Of course there are other colours. The other colours are red, yellow, British Racing Green and camo.
No comment.

@heartny @phendrick You never learned to read upside down? Handy sometimes.

As in that fashion trend-setting city, Houston:
Apparently, that trend never made it to my part of the state.
Darts
@katbyter Darts are important.
@katbyter @kostia Throwing or catching?
@mehcuda67 No.
@katbyter @kostia @mehcuda67 Lawn?
@katbyter SCREECH! by my desires.
@katbyter @kostia @mehcuda67 @pmarin
Patterns or designs on the fabric
My nemesis. If women’s clothing actually HAD pockets it would be a great feature, yes.

Corduroy
@xenophod ew, creepy
Sizing that actually reflects the population
Anything that my wife puts on - she’s supah fine.
Pockets that fit a cell phone.

I don’t know what you women are complaining about.
Here’s some pockets for you. Too me thirty seconds.
